Peregrine nest at Chapel Head

Chapel Head Scar

BMC has just received confirmation the birds are definitely nesting at the popular S. Lakes crag this year.

The LDNPA are monitoring the site, so the restriction will be lifted as soon as the chicks fledge. However, it appears the eggs were laid fairly late in the breeding period, so the restriction may extend beyond the 30th June.

Keep an eye the the RAD for any updates.
